WiFi problems when bluetooth is turned on

When I turned on my bluetooth, my wi - fi signal gets worse. Why? I have a macbookpro 15 inch mid2015

Hi oytunege,

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It seems that you have problems with your Wi - Fi signal when you turn on your Bluetooth. I use Wi - Fi or Bluetooth connection, so I can understand your concern. I know that it is important to be able to have a good Wi - Fi signal. I will be happy to provide information on this for you.

The potential sources of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, this article goes on some great information that could be the cause of interference between your network Wi - Fi and Bluetooth.

I recommend the Mac startup in safe mode and then turn on your Bluetooth to see if you notice a difference in Wi - Fi. To return to your user account from safe mode, just restart the Mac.

OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

You can also try this in another user account to see if this problem occurs only in the main user or if it is the scale of the system.

How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

Have a great weekend.

  • Why my new iPad and iPhone massively have wifi slowly when Bluetooth is turned on?

    I tried to watch reboot etc until I found a post saying that the Bluetooth is originally the devices have a much slower connection. I turned Bluetooth and got 65 instead of the download speed of 11 gig. However, my watch Apple pencil and pebble being disabled, is very important to me, so it's not a viable option for me. What can I do? A fix is even planned? ! Running the latest iOS with all the patches etc in place. Tried to close everything and restart both devices and the router etc, but disable Bluetooth is so far the only thing that makes the difference. My old mini iPad and iPhone 6 were very good, but I traded them in

    Hello. If you use a 2.4 GHz, instead of the most recent 5 GHz WiFi, Bluetooth uses the same frequency band and may interfere with it. Try to change to 5 GHz, ir your router supports.

  • My MOTOSPEAK off when bluetooth is turned off.

    I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem? My motospeak remains on even after my bluetooth goes out... so I force close and then when I turn on my bluetooth it turns on... but still does not turn off when I turn off my bluetooth. A way to fix it?

    Well, in the framework of trying to solve another problem... see my other post... I recharged my phone to default settings and reloaded all my apps.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones said Nextel ringtone is disabled on 8350i when Bluetooth is turned on... Is there a fix for it?

    Does anyone know if there is a fix or software update for this problem? The ringing of the phone is turned off whenever my bluetooth headset is activated. The phone will not ring, I only get the beep in the bluetooth. I drive a truck for a living, and miss me a lot of calls, because I can just hear the bluetooth beep on the sound of the truck.

    Technicians from Nextel to my local maintenance and repair center told me that it is a permanent framework with all phones Blackberry Curve and it cannot be changed. They did a software upgrade that solved my another problem of the speed dial works do not with bluetooth, but they say there is no solution at the moment to get the ringtone to work with bluetooth turned on.

    Someone at - it suggestions? It's frustrating kind of spending all that money on the phone and do not have a working key feature. I really need to be able to hear the phone ring when I'm in the big truck.

    Thank you all...

    No, Sir,

    I would like to get a replacement from Nextel, your telephone does not work correctly.

    To go less to the local NEXTEL store and have them use their Blackberry

    and let them show you it sounds with Bluetooth. I promise you this is a defect, they ring

    with Bluetooth connected.

  • Satellite A665 - 13W WIFI slow when activated Bluetooth

    I have hit a problem with WIFI performance and need help to find the solution.

    I have Satellite A665-13W with wireless Broadcom 802.11n network adapter and use the latest BIOS and drivers (for Broadcom is version 5.60.48.35). The laptop connects to my router and can reach network high speed, but then long time ago when there is no flow of data over network connections. These shortcomings last several seconds and occure probably 3 times per minute. This makes services like Skype unusable because for a while, I have good network connection, allowing you to make a video call even but quality then connection drops less than 1 Mbps (in fact hold) so even audio is not working and call either disconnects or connection back to full speed for about 10 seconds until what the quality decreases again.

    I tried different routers (802. 11 g, and 802.11n) and the problem persists. I tried to measure the performance of data transfer on LAN and found that the problem is not only related to my internet connection. I have tried other laptops and their connection works fine, so the problem lies in the Satellite A665-13W and its wireless adapter. In the end, I found that the problem is related to activated Bluetooth which is necessary for the connection of a wireless mouse.

    If bluetooth is disabled the WIFI performance is good and there is no delay in the transfer of data.
    If bluetooth is enabled (but no bluetooth device is connected or prominent) WIFI performance is severely degraded. Performance degradation is some expected when Bluetooth is used, but what is not acceptable, it is that no data shall not be transferred for a period of several seconds and even in the case where no bluetooth device is actually connected.

    My other laptop (Asus, Lenovo) do not have such a problem and can transfer data via WIFI streaming even if the Bluetooth mouse is connected to them and used. So it's clear the Toshiba laptop to malfunction.

    I tried to deactivate the energy saving network adapter wireless, but with no impact on performance.

    Is there a newer driver that can solve the problem? I can't solve the problem of some network card settings? Network card can be replaced to solve the problem (for laptop is under warranty)?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Best regards
    Jakub

    Hello

    > Is there a newer driver that can solve the problem?
    Well, I can't say with certainty if the driver update should solve your problem, but I think that it s worth a try. You should try to update the driver WLAN and Bluetooth. You can find updates on the following pages:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Also define the power WLAN mode for each profile of saving power for maximum performance which is not power save.

    Using the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation? If you use your own test of Windows with factory settings please. Just to make sure that it s not to deliver any software.

    Not least have last but you installed a software/driver for this Bluetooth mouse?

  • Bluetooth freezes when the screen turns off

    Having a problem with the Bluetooth on my pre. I coupled it with a Plantronics Voyager 855. Initial pairing works very well, but after the screen on the pre turns off, the connection goes bad. When I turn the screen back on, the Bluetooth application on the phone always displays the connected headset, but it is not. If I try to play music, there is no sound, and if a call comes in, I can hear the person on the phone, and not on the helmet.

    About 30-45 seconds after the screen turns off, I hear the high tone of the headset which means that it has lost connection. I don't think that the headset is bad. It worked very well with my previous phone.

    If I have music when the screen turns off, the connection is very good. It's like, when there is no active communication between the phone and the headset, and the screen turns off, the bluetooth on the phone goes into a blocked State. I can restore the connection by turning off bluetooth on the phone and then on again. It reconnects to the helmet, until the next time the screen turns off.

    I tried this to get a better idea of the problem...

    If I remove helmet > disable bluetooth phone > turn on bluetooth on the phone > put the headset in pairing mode, it pairs fine.

    If I remove helmet > disable bluetooth phone > turn on bluetooth on the phone > turn off the screen > wait 45 sec > turn on the screen > put the headset in pairing mode, then it does not.

    Again, it is like turning off the screen causes the bluetooth of the phone hang. Given that the screen turns off fairly quickly, I basically disable bluetooth phone and back on every time I want to use it.

    Any thoughts?

    My problem is solved.  Turns out that I had a defective unit.  He traded last night, and it works fine now.  Got the yellow box this time.  First of all, we had the black cover.

    The swap was a little complicated.  I bought in a store of absolute Wireless in Garner, North Carolina.  It is a reseller of third party.  They did it to a Sprint service center to have a technician "certify" the default before they would replace it by car through the city.  And of course, the service center couldn't do the replacement, so I had to go back through the city to the point of purchase after they certified it.  Best of all, the procedure of "certification" involved explaining the problem to the technician for about a minute, she agreed with me that it was malfunctioned and his writing his employee with the ID on the back of a business card to bring back me to the first shop.  She has not yet turn the phone on itself.  She said pretty much the guy to the absolute Wireless has been a * beep * by sending me to it in the first place b/c, we could just do this by phone.  PITA BREAD.  But I suppose it is, that's what I to do not buy directly from Sprint.

  • I installed in my laptop XP - SP3 PersonalFirewall of Privacyware and I have this problem: when restarting, always internet access isn't available (WiFi/LAN).

    network adapter AutoDetect fails

    Hello:

    I installed in my laptop XP - SP3 PersonalFirewall of Privacyware and I have this problem: when restarting, always internet access isn't available (WiFi/LAN).
    Using the command ipconfig, I found that these cards are not detected. (Although without wireless/LAN icons do not display the modem connection). Also, if I go into Device Manager, I see network cards. BUT if I select "research material changes", then the other adapters will appear (those of Privacyware) and internet connection is reset and it will work then.  I wonder why windows does not detect this kind of cards automatically when I start it.

    This problem occurs only in my laptop - I installed the project Feederwatch on a laptop another XP and it worked, so Privacyware cannot provide a solution, since seems a very specific problem.

    Thanks for any idea!

    Seems that the solution was:

    1 - Open Device manager and view the hidden devices.
    2. then go into not connectable & play devices and manually delete all the remainers network software & security uninstalled (process antivirus, firewall, monitor).
    3. several reboots were required in order to know if the garbage problem has been removed.

  • I have a problem when I turn on my computer...

    I have a problem when I turn on my computer. An error that says: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "
    And there are 3 options: start windows in safe mode, safe mode with network or start Windows normally. And... If I have the choice between these options my Windows shows this option again and again after loading... How to solve "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. " Problem ?

    lakimedo,
    The first thing, have you changed any hardware or software?   If you added new hardware then delete and restart.  Also disconnect external devices and try to start.  When you start start pressing F8 until you get the Windows startup options.  Then try "Last known good configuration" see if that helps.  If those who do not help, I would start with your XP CD to recovery mode and run "chkdsk/r" then "sfc/scannow".  QQ learn manage!

  • [Issue] How data is transferred when you use BlackBerry (NFC) Tag? WiFi Direct? Bluetooth 2.1? Bluetooth 3.0?

    Hello

    I saw a bunch of videos of demonstration of tag BlackBerry of all the cool things you can do with the NFC, but it wondered, what happens if all my other antenas wireless, WiFi and Bluetooth, are out of?

    NFC can be used to transfer data, but it is not good for large quantities. I looked a little further and I found this cool video showing the difference to use Bluetooth 2.1, Bluetooth 3.0 high speed and Wifi Direct to transfer large files, such as videos. BB10 already does support Wifi Direct? Bluetooth 3.0 high speed?

    I hope that BB10 supports ALL the performance and maximum compatibility.

    I don't know where to post this question so here's. Please move was a better place. I think that the community needs a session of general development for wider issues.

    See you soon!

    Hello

    Tag BlackBerry, and the APIs available for developers will automatically perform the best way to transfer the data. NFC supports something called "connect transfer" and are the largest payloads or certain types of data (photos, for example) rather than by peer-to-peer NFC, NFC mode data transfer is just used to negotiate alternative transport. In the case of the BlackBerry smart phones, this alternative will be bluetooth.

    For users of touch devices, there is a brief 'conversation' between the devices on the NFC and this translates into a bluetooth connection set up and data transfer initiated through the bluetooth connection faster. This is all without the usual matching process. After reaching the stage of bluetooth devices need closer will be of course.

    The same principle applies to both 7 BlackBerry and BlackBerry 10. In fact talk us a bit about this in our latest article on BlackBerry 10 NFC API:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/native-development/BlackBerry-10-sharing-using-NfcShareManage...

    I hope this helps.

  • iPhone WiFi problem

    Hey, my iPhone 5s has a Wifi problem. I'll send text messages, but will not work iMessage. I can receive emails and receive phone calls. But, when I open my apps video/social media (Youtube, Amazon, Instagram, Snapchat, video etc.), the wifi does not work. Can someone tell me how to fix it? Thank you

    Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.

    (1) perform a forced reboot: hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Leave the device to reboot.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth).

    (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes (ask for more details if you wish).

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201252

    (9) go to the Apple Store for the evaluation of the material.

  • I have SE phone BT and WiFi problems

    2 questions

    Voice of BT in car quality is terrible with the phone SE - not like that on old 6s I sold to buy this phone.

    Just noticed that the WIFI icon has disappeared!  Despite the detection network WIFI with excellent signal strength and network selected checked the actual signal is not there - it is always in the upper left corner of any I phone that I had previousdly not there now!  I think that it is connected OK as connection is faster than the 3G or 4 G-

    Someone at - it an idea of what is the problem and how to sort for BT and WIFI?

    Please do the following and after each test to see if the problem is resolved - if yes, then you can omit the following steps - I tried to list them in ascending order of the effort at least on a Mac and / or an iDevice

    1. Check if the problem is related to a single device and if other devices connect normally-
    2. If the answer 1 is 'yes' - try to connect the device assigned to somewhere else if possible - coffee or the University
    3. Perform a forced - restart cela do not delete or purge all data and allows to solve many problems - here is how - press and hold the Off / On Home button and at the same time for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Allow normal startup upward.
    4. Settings - WiFi - < network name > - Click on forget network - do a restart forced according to 3 and then add again the network
    5. If home - reboot the router by unplugging it for 60 seconds (power) and the plug and reconnect - obviously, this step can be done in a public place like a cafe or airport or University. While you're there - make sure your router is working on the latest firmware (check manufacturer's website)
    6. Settings - general - reset - Reset network settings - remember to have very practical WiFi passwords because it erases the WiFi passwords
    7. If it is a new specific net device in your home - make sure that the router gives enough DNS for all numbers which must / wants a connection - stuff like the printer, Chromecast get overlooked - ask for more details on this so not sure option
    8. Backup the device to iTunes - restore as NEW (no) - see if solves problem - if yes - restore backup
    9. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.

    For Bluetooth

    1. If the pencil of Apple is connected - "Forget it" and try again
    2. Control Center - tap bluetooth and turn it on again - 8 - 10 times
    3. Force restart the iPhone
    4. Update to the latest iOS if not done

    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! REALLY ANNOYED WITH THIS PROBLEM

    Hello @jay05,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I came across your post about the WiFi problem and wanted to help!  I understand that you have found the DNS errors.

    First of all, try to review the steps offered by Community Member

    @Great-Christine-Tree:

    First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
    Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

    A second option is to try the following steps:
    Powercycle the network:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test an ethernet connection:
    Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

    Test another connection:
    Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.
